New '14 370z owner

Crext · 06-08-2016, 09:35 AM

Sup guys, my name is chris and i am a new '14 370z base + sport pkg owner. The color is silver and i love the forged wheels. Im not sure of how people will think of this, but im only 17 (yes 17), just graduated and this is what I got for a gift (still making payments lol). Anyways i figured i would join. Im in socal soon to be AZ. Lot of people tell me to get an oil cooler, i dont track the car or get on it hard often... But oil temps still get to 220 easy... Hopefully I can make friends with some people on here

Your car actually has a OEM oil cooler it just doesn't do a very good job. Check out Fast intentions or Z1 for a good aftermarket solution.

I'd wait on the oil cooler. If you don't track your car, you probably won't need it.

Welcome and congrats on the car and graduation!!! Great present! Glad to hear your safely driving it, also agree with Wanker if you are not driving hard on the car you will be fine on stock just keep oil changed on a regular basis and always use full synthetic

Crext · 06-08-2016, 04:20 PM

ok then I will wait, what temperature should I lookout for that would be "bad" or "dangerous" to the engine?
